WAYNE – A 19-year-old Wall Township student at William Paterson University was charged with possession of child pornography after he admitted to “trading” it over the Internet, Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik said in a release.

Andrew Maggs, 19, of Wall Township, was arrested Monday after authorities responded to a complaint of child pornography being sent of the web and determined it originated on the William Paterson University campus, Berdnik said.

An investigation, with the assistance of the William Paterson University Police Department, led authorities to Maggs, who was brought in for questioning and admitted to trading child pornography online with other people, Berdnik said. Maggs’ laptop was seized and the investigation is ongoing.

He was charged with one count of possession of child pornography and was released on his own recognizance pending a court appearance.
